The remake of the cult game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by Japanese developer Konami will take place without the participation of game designer Hideo Kojima, who is considered the main inspiration for the series. Reported by a journalist Border John Porter.
“The remake of MGS 3 is particularly challenging given how inseparable the Metal Gear games are from series creator Hideo Kojima, who parted ways with Konami in 2015. Kojima’s name was specifically omitted from Konami’s press release.
According to the journalist, this means that the company has denied any involvement of Kojima in the work on the new version of the project. However, this also means that the game has the potential to upset fans of the series. Also, Konami could take a simpler route and retain all the “chips” of the series Kojima created that players are used to.
“Kojima is an unusually prominent figure for a game developer and one of the few names in the industry. Resident Evil 4 feels like a Capcom game, but Metal Gear Solid 3 feels like a Hideo Kojima game, not Konami.
According to The Verge, the Japanese game designer has a distinctive sense of humor as well as a distinctive and unique style that stands out in the plot of his games. The journalist noted that Metal Gear Survive, the only Metal Gear game ever released by Konami since Kojima’s departure, met with average reviews and was almost forgotten.
End of May Konami Shared the first details About the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake, shortly after the project was officially announced at the PlayStation show. The original voice acting is expected to be preserved, meaning actor David Hayter will reprise his role as Snake.
The original Metal Gear Solid 3 was released on the PlayStation 2 game console in 2004. It is the third game in the MGS series created under the guidance of Japanese game designer Hideo Kojima. Also, this game is the first game in the chronology of the series. According to the plot, the American special agent “Snake” (Snake) enters the USSR to drive scientist Nikolai Sokolov out of the country and prevent the development of the Shagohod tank, which can fire nuclear missiles.
